Lyrics
I sat up all morning and I waited for you
With my blue and grey shirt on
Yeah I thought that's my lucky one
I'll sit and face the road now
I don't have a heavy load now
I got nothing to keep me hanging around here
From now on
Where's the compassion
To make your tired heart sing
I'm tired of being a spokesman
For every tired thing
There's nothing in the world outside
Just some things that I see from the side
I'm just a shy boy sitting in a house
When everyone is gone from now on
I sat up all morning and I waited for you
With my blue and grey shirt on
Yeah that's my favorite one
I sat up all morning so why did you call?
'Cause now I just sing my songs
For people that are gone from now on
